General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - ?
  • Interesting: No - ?
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was expanded from a redirect on January 18 and nominated within seven days. Length and sourcing are adequate. Article is neutral in tone. No plagiarism issues detected. Images used in the article are freely licensed on the Commons. QPQ requirement is complete. ALT0 is verified by the cited source and properly mentioned inline. However, I agree with the comment above that ALT0 would not likely be interesting to a broad audience since Henry Dundas is not a widely recognized name. ALT1 is slightly more interesting, but the wording in the hook "just 17 days after" is inconsistent with the wording in the article "Just two weeks later". This needs to be the same since it will appear to be an error. Flibirigit (talk) 01:46, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Re second-opinion request for ALT2: The citations check out, and the information appears in the article with citation. Although there's nothing wrong with ALT2, I prefer ALT1 because collapsing bridges are far more of a fascination to passing rubberneckers than one-way systems.
